[33] German, _Kitzelgefühl_. In German, the word _Kitzel_ signifies both _itching_ and _tickling_ and is likewise used to denote both _sexual desire_ and _sexual gratification_.

[35] Compare Mrs. Browning's graceful treatment of a young girl's imaginings, in her well-known poem, "The Romance of a Swan's Nest."

"Little Ellie sits alone . . . . . While she thinks what shall be done, And the sweetest pleasure chooses For her future within reach.

Little Ellie in her smile Chooses, 'I will have a lover Riding on a steed of steeds: He shall love me without guile, . . . . . And the steed shall be red-roan, And the lover shall be noble, With an eye that takes the breath: And the lute he plays upon Shall strike ladies into trouble, As his sword strikes men to death.' . . . . .

And later, little Ellie imagines her lover kneeling at her knee to tell her--

'I am a duke's eldest son, Thousand serfs do call me master, But, O love, I love but _thee_!'"

[38] By _masturbation_ or _onanism_ I understand the artificial mechanical stimulation of the genital organs. Etymologically and strictly, onanism denotes coitus interruptus (Gen. xxxviii. 9); masturbation (manustupration), artificial stimulation of the genital organs with the hand.

[79] Quoted by Havelock Ellis, _Studies in the Psychology of Sex_, vol. i., 3rd ed., Davis, Philadelphia, 1910, p. 179. The original paper is by C. W. Townsend, "Thigh Friction in Children under One Year," Annual Meeting of the American Pediatric Society, Montreal, 1896. Five cases are recorded by this writer, all in female infants.

[80] Regarding the precise significance of the terms _iomasturbation_ and _onanism_, see the author's footnote to page 87. The adjectives corresponding to those words are respectively _masturbatory_ and _onanistic_. By German writers, _onanismus_ or _onanie_, and _onanistisch_, are often used where, strictly speaking, the words are inapplicable, since reference is made to cases in which sexual gratification is obtained by direct manipulation. In this translation, I prefer for such cases to use the words _masturbation_ (i.e. _manustupration_) and _masturbatory_; and to limit the use of the terms _onanism_ and _onanistic_ to cases in which no direct use is made of the hand. Where sexual gratification is obtained without any mechanical act at all, it to preferable to speak of _psychical onanism_, or else to employ the general term introduced by Havelock Ellis for the description of all varieties of self-induced sexual stimulation and sexual gratification--whether mechanical or psychical--viz. _auto-erotism_ (adjectival form, _auto-erotic_).

[112] We are irresistibly reminded, in this connexion, of the reputed higher morality of age as compared with youth, of which La Rochefoucauld says (Maxim 192): "When our vices leave us, we flatter ourselves that it is we who leave them."--TRANSLATOR'S NOTE.

[115] The custom of taking in a man as a night-lodger in crowded working-class tenements appears, unhappily, to be commoner in the large towns of Germany and Austria than it is in this country. See, for instance, Adelheid Popp's _Jugendgeschichte einer Arbeiterin_ (3rd ed., Reinhardt, Munich, 1910, pp. 19, 20).

[126] See footnote to page 260.

[127] Compare Havelock Ellis, _Studies in the Psychology of Sex_, vol. vi.; _Sex in Relation to Society_ (Philadelphia, 1910, p. 368); "But altogether outside theoretical morality, or the question of what people 'ought' to do, there remains _practical morality_, or the question of what, as a matter of fact, people actually do. This is the really fundamental and essential morality. Latin _mores_ and Greek [Greek: êthos] both refer to _custom_, to the things that are, and not to the things that 'ought to be.'" The etymological connexion, of which Dr. Moll speaks, between the words _morality_ (or _ethics_) and _custom_, thus subsists through the intermediation of the dead languages. But in German, the etymological connexion between _Sitte_ (custom) and _Sittlichkeit_ (morality) is immediately apparent.--TRANSLATOR'S NOTE.

[128] For details, see Rosenbaum, _Geschichte der Lustseuche_ (_History of Venereal Disease_), Halle, 1893, p. 52 _et seq._

[129] It is surprising that the author makes no reference to the close association, in many cases, of the sentiment of disgust with unpleasant smells. The earthworm, the cockroach, and the bed-bug are regarded as peculiarly disgusting, and all have a

## particularly offensive odour. The unpleasant smell of the alvine

evacuations is assuredly a large element in the disgust these inspire.--TRANSLATOR'S NOTE.

[133] I owe to private information, most kindly given me by Dr. Bohn, my knowledge of numerous details bearing on this question.

[135] This does not conflict with the fact that in these circles also much hypocrisy is practised--much more certainly than in our own country (Germany). To a still greater extent is this true of England, where also in many circles all illegitimate sexual intercourse is proscribed, thus leading to the practice of hypocrisy. Because a large proportion of the population does not practise illegitimate intercourse, those who do indulge in it are led to conceal as far as possible their own illegitimate intercourse; as a result of this we find side by side and simultaneously in the same circle, on the one hand a prohibition of illegitimate intercourse based upon genuine conviction, and on the other a hypocritical condemnation of such intercourse. Further, we have to admit that the question is an exceptionally difficult one, precisely on account of the hypocrisy and lies in which the sexual life is enveloped. Naturally, where illegitimate intercourse is forbidden, those who do indulge are far more careful, and especially in guarding against venereal infection, lest the illness should betray them to others. A communication made to me very recently suggests the need for great caution in our judgment in these matters. A foreign university professor gives his students very fine lectures on the sexual life, laying great stress on the beauty and importance of sexual abstinence. The lecturer was convinced that as a result of his lectures his students were exceptionally chaste and abstinent. But a colleague of this same professor at the university is no less firmly convinced, and this as the result of reports from members of his friend's audience, that the assumed chastity of the students is purely imaginary, and that in actual fact their lives are just as loose as those of students in general.

[141] Theologians are not agreed as to when the "age of reason" is attained. Gousset, in his _Moraltheologie zum Gebrauch der Pfarrer und Beichtväter_ (German translation of the seventh edition of a French work, _Moral Theology for the Use of Priests and Father-Confessors_), Aix, 1852, vol. ii. p. 244, demands that children should go to confession as soon as they are seven years of age; other authorities consider that the "age of reason" begins only in the last years of childhood.

[143] From what has been said before, it will have become evident that the question has different aspects in different strata of the population. I have attempted merely to formulate general principles, not to furnish an answer for every possible concrete question. Differences between town and country, between richer and poorer, between cultured and uncultured, must be given due consideration. In the case of those belonging to the less cultured and the poorer strata of society, a special use in this connexion may be found for those social institutions which have of late come into being in various localities as the fruit of voluntary effort [corresponding to our Children's Care Committees, &c., in England--TRANSLATOR], and conducted by women of the cultured and well-to-do classes. These institutions may be utilised for imparting the sexual enlightenment, at any rate in so far as they permit of an individual study of the child-psyche.

[145] Among others by K. Höller: "Die Aufgabe der Volksschule" ("The Task of the Elementary School"), _Proceedings of the Third Congress of the German Society for the Suppression of the Venereal Diseases, at Mannheim, in the Year 1907_. In these Proceedings, which were published as the seventh volume of the _Zeitschrift zur Bekämpfung der Geschlechtskrankheiten_ (_Journal for the Suppression of the Venereal Diseases_), the reader will find a vast amount of material bearing upon this question.

[146] _Briefe über die wichtigsten Gegenstände der Menschheit (Letters Concerning Matters of the Utmost Importance to Mankind)_, written by R., and published by S. I. Teil, Leipzig, 1794, p. 100 _et seq._ To all who are interested in the subject under discussion, I strongly recommend the perusal of this book, which seems to-day to have been entirely forgotten.

[147] For example, Max Oker-Blom: _Beim Onkel Doktor auf dem Lande_. A book for parents, 2nd ed., Vienna and Leipzig, 1906.--An English version, _How my Uncle the Doctor Instructed me in Matters of Sex_, has been published by the American Society of Sanitary and Moral Prophylaxis, 33, West 42nd Street, New York. [A list of a number of such books will be found in a footnote to p. 684 of my translation of Bloch's _The Sexual Life of Our Time_. As Oker-Blom himself says of this vital matter of sexual enlightenment, "Better a year too early than an hour too late."--TRANSLATOR.]

[150] There is one bearing of the use of alcohol in relation to irregular sexual intercourse, the importance of which Dr. Moll appears to me largely to ignore in his discussion of the subject, and that is the effect which even moderate doses of alcohol have in blunting the finer sensibilities, and in disturbing the balance of the judgment. (The author's only reference to the subject is on page 348, where he writes, "If so much alcohol is taken as to interfere with the natural psychical inhibitions, sexual practices may occur that would not otherwise have occurred.") To take the woman's point of view first, it is, I believe, a common experience with prostitutes that, in the earlier days at any rate, they find it difficult to ply their trade unless under the influence of alcohol. Turning to the man's point of view, there is quite a considerable proportion of young men who, however strong their sexual impulse, object to meretricious intercourse at once on ethical and æsthetic grounds. The ethical ground is that intercourse with a prostitute infringes the elementary principle of civilised morals, that one human being should not use another as a mere means to the ends of the former, but that each of us must treat all human beings as ends in themselves; considering the general character of prostitution, the fact that obligations to the individual prostitute are supposed to be discharged by a conventional money payment, does not countervail the fact that this moral principle is infringed. On the æsthetic objections to prostitution, it is hardly necessary to enlarge; they have been felt by all men with refined sensibilities. But it is precisely these refined sensibilities which are blunted by even moderate doses of alcohol--doses insufficiently great to abate the sexual impulse itself. I do not mean to suggest that prostitution would not continue, in the present economic and social conditions, were there no intoxicants in the world; but I think an evening spent in quiet observation in the "promenade" of a "fashionable" London music-hall will convince most people that the above-described effects of alcohol are by no means purely imaginary.--TRANSLATOR'S NOTE.

[151] The arguments against raising the Age of Consent for women beyond the age of sixteen now specified in the Criminal Law Amendment Act of 1885, as ably summarised by Havelock Ellis, should be consulted in this connexion. See his _Studies in the Psychology of Sex_, vol. vi., _Sex in Relation to Society_, pp. 528-30. Davis, Philadelphia, 1910.--TRANSLATOR'S NOTE.
